SALT LAKE CITY, April 24, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SINTX Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: SINT) today announced that its 2019 Annual Meeting of Stockholders ("Annual Meeting"), scheduled for Tuesday, April 23, 2019, was convened on Proposals 1, 3 and 4 each as set forth in the company’s Definitive Proxy Statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 25, 2019 with all such proposals having been ratified and approved.

The company adjourned the Annual Meeting with respect to Proposal 2 - Approval of Reverse Stock Split. While Proposal 2 has exceeded 60% approval based on votes cast to date, approval of more than 50% of all outstanding shares of SINTX common stock as of March 6, 2019, is necessary for the proposal to be ratified and approved. At the meeting, it was deemed that the holders of a sufficient number of SINTX’s outstanding common stock have not yet submitted proxies to indicate how their shares should be voted and additional time was needed to collect the required votes. The adjournment will allow for the solicitation of additional votes on Proposal 2. The Annual Meeting will resume with respect to Proposal 2 at 10:00 a.m. MDT on May 23, 2019 at the company’s offices located at 1855 West 2100 South, Salt Lake City, UT 84119.

The company will continue to solicit proxies from stockholders with respect to Proposal 2 during the period of adjournment. Only stockholders of record on the record date of March 6, 2019 are entitled and are being requested to vote. No further action is required by any stockholder who has submitted his or her proxy card. The company’s Board of Directors and management respectfully request all such holders as of the record date who have not yet voted their shares to do so by 11:59 p.m. EDT on Wednesday, May 22, 2019.
